Who knew Tom Hanks liked older women… by about 20 years. Sort of a BIG age discrepancy. Potentially a BIG issue. And sort of the BIG romance promised to us in 1988’s questionable rom-com… BIG. Yeah, it was an uneasy watch the first time and today, Bob and Tim are reposting their reexamination of what the audience that fell in love with the film sort of missed. (full disclosure … its sort of a BIG deal) .

This episode of 20TH CENTURY POPCAST was recorded by ZENCASTR, a high fidelity podcast recording platform that records multiple guests from multiple zip-codes all as if they were in the same room. It was then mastered by AUPHONIC, a web-based post-production service that makes it sound like Bob and Tim are worth listening to. Log in to each for studio quality recordings NOW! (exclamation point provided by ZENCASTR).
